Sweet! So just having a girl say your name makes it look like she is blowing you a kiss. Awesome. I love it. *I* should have thought of that!

My first user CSS, for fixing the IPB blog whiteiness

August 15th, 2008

Softpedia has upgarded the blog module (I guess) and it was quite a shok this new interface, completly changed (from layout point of view); basically the whole look & feel. The most annying problem is that it’s almost completly white. Even the non-white areas are almost white.
So I wrote the folloing user css: http://www.ciuly.com/css/SP_blog.css to fix this. As you already know from looking at my main site I have 0 aesthetic sense, so don’t expect something “wow”. Just something more bareble than that … white.

How to get around caching problems with XMLHttpRequest

August 13th, 2008

I was writing a greasemonkey script which is using XMLHttpRequest to get a page, then post something and again get to see if the change was made. However, Opera (and presumabley firefox as well) caches the result of a get through XMLHttpRequest so the test was returning a false negative. Searching for a workarounf, I found ths site: http://www.isolani.co.uk/blog/atom/JavascriptAtomApiClientUsingXmlHttpRequest
from which I quote the idea
[quote:366a41af29]
I’ve worked around this by inserting a timestamp in the query string of every get request – that way it forces IE to ignore the cache.

it works 🙂

Delphi IE Toolbar

July 23rd, 2008

I’ve made a toolbar for internet explorer as part of an odesk job that went up in smoke. I’m just to genious for some people to have me working for them 😀
What I hate the most is that I have shared with them one of my older ideas of an unbreakable security system.
Sure, it has it’s problems, just like the OTP, but it’s almost as strong as the OTP. And it’;s a lot more practical. I’ll share it one day when my time permits it.

Anyway, until then, here is the ie toolbar I made http://www.ciuly.com/delphi/win32api/shell/ietoolbar/index.html
It support having many toolbars, deskbands and so forth in the same program and even the same unit. It was designed specifically to allow a generalization, either by using the 2 specific files (Main.pas and SomeDelphiIEBandFrm.pas) as templates, or by using an array of the defined specific data.

Generalization is my middle name. Which reminds me. I am tiping you guys off: in a few weeks/month I will release (the long awaited dynamic version of) the new site, written in a totally generic language I defined, for dummies. It’s a sort of RAD but without an IDE (yet). it allows you to do the basic stuff, very fast and very easy but also allows you to do complex stuff, in which case it’s not so RAD anymore. But, it was designed for dummies and people wanting to put up sites, fast. For complex sites there are more appropriate tools 😛

anyway, enjoy the IE toolbar 🙂

I cheated at spider solitair :D

July 17th, 2008

I was kind of bored, not because I didn’t have work to do, but because I got sick of it, so I was playing spider solitair and at one point I told myself: why in the world am I wasting time trying to score high? Lets score low. Lowest possible is 100 points.
so, I started clicking and clicking to get my score down to 0 when I had only one card left to finish. Of course, you know that with one movement of one card you loose one point. So I had to get my score down from almost 1000 to 0. That is 1000 clicks. So I started clicking and clicking and eventually I got it down to over 73.000. clicks…
or not. Well, that’s where I cheated, I got tired of clicking and draging after about 200 such operations 😀 so I told myself, hey, I could write a program to do this for me. So I did:

[code:1:d3dc444c84]
function x(i:integer):integer;
begin
result:=round(i*65535/1279);
end;

function y(i:integer):integer;
begin
result:=round(i*65535/1023);
end;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var i:integer;
begin
{ make sure that:
– the spider solitair window is in the upper left corner
– the screen resolution is 1280×1024
– there is only one card in the first slot
– ther eis no card in the second slot
– there is about 2 mm gap between slots
}
for i:=1 to 8000 do// change this accordingly
begin
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE OR MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, x(43), y(110), 0, 0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE OR MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, x(120), y(110), 0, 0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);
sleep(1);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE OR MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, x(43), y(110), 0, 0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);
sleep(1);
end;
end;
[/code:1:d3dc444c84]

And after I got it down to 0, I told myself, lets see if spider programmers used a word for the movements, as any optimization freak would do (who in his sane mind would not be able to finish a spider solitair match in 65535 moves? ) So I fired it up and … it went over. Guess the programmer was a lazy one and used an int. I just didn’t have the nerves to watch the screen until it overflowed an int, so I didn’t try that 😛
But you’re welcome to try 🙂spider solitair cheatspider solitair cheatspider solitair cheatspider solitair cheat
